EPOV

As I waited in front of my door, for Bella to finish up her shower, I couldn't help but let my mind wonder to her. She was incredible; I would have thought she would have run the other way, screaming as she went, when she found out that I was a vampire, I mean that's what any normal creature would do. Humans and other creatures of this earth tend to stay clear of us, instincts tell them they should keep there guard up when around us, and I don't blame them one bit, I mean we are the world's most dangerous predator. But Bella was different, she was actually curious about me and my family and if I didn't know any better I would say she still wants to learn more about us, more about me. When I thought about this, I couldn't help but get excited, thinking that Bella wanted to get to know me better. It made my stomach twist in knots, not out of pain but in anticipation, a feeling I haven't had in awhile.

I was brought from thoughts when I heard the door open, I snapped my head up, and was immediately stunned by Bella yet again, but this time it was by her beauty. She stood in the doorway, her mahogany colored hair, falling down in waves, some falling over her shoulders, curling slightly at the ends, accenting her heart-shaped face. She wore no make-up, which was fine by me because her lips were naturally a light- reddish color, and the blush that was silently creeping across her cheeks giving her natural coloring.

I let my eyes travel down her body, starting from her shirt. She was wearing a blue shirt, which contrasted beautifully with her alabaster skin. The arms of the shirt stopped at her elbows and the neck of her shirt dropped down into a v, showing a little cleavage. My eyes continued there journey, traveling down over her flat stomach, stopping at her waist, showing of some of her skin. I continued down, passed her waist, which her jeans hung seductively from. When my eyes got to the bottom where her feet, I couldn't help but smile, she was barefooted, just like the first time that I meet her.

I was brought from my fix, when I heard her clear her throat. I snapped my head back to her face, and saw her turn a deeper red, enhancing the intoxicating scent of her blood, it made me burn, but not from thirst, no this burn was desire. I shook my head again, trying to clear my thoughts. I looked at her face, I saw that she was looking off to the side and down, biting on her luscious bottom lip, her blush still there; it made me wonder what my face looked like.

We were silent for a minute, me staring at her, her staring at the floor. That's when I noticed that she was leaning up against the door frame, putting all of her weight, on her good side. I immediately got worried that she was in pain; such a lovely creature like Bella should not be in pain.

"How is your leg" I asked. She must have forgotten that I was here, because she jumped, hissing in pain when she landed on it. I watched as she started to fall sideways, her leg not being able to handle her weight. I was at her side in an instant, grabbing around her waist and bringing her into my chest, so that she could us me as balance. After she got her balance and was using me to support her, she looked up at me, her eyes holding tears in them, waiting to fall. She must be in a lot of pain.

I was suddenly aware of how close our faces were. Her lips were just mere inches away from mine. I looked down to her lips and watched as they parted. I continued watching as she brought her bottom lip into her mouth and started nibbling on it. I could feel myself reacting rather quickly to the innocent gesture. I brought my eyes back to hers, them returning the favor. You could feel the tension between us, how bad I wanted to lean down and capture those lovely lips with mine. I was brought short with this thought.

What am I thinking, I barely even know her. Finally breaking the tension between us, I spoke.

"You should really be more careful next time, you don't want to re-injure your leg" I said to her quietly. She continued to stare at me but nodded her head. I was about to say something else, but I was interrupted by a twinkling voice, I didn't have to look at who it was, for I knew who it was, it was Alice. I watched as Bella gasped and tried to back away from my grasp, but I wouldn't break my hold. I leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"Bella you have to be careful" I said. She looked at me and nodded her head again and then turned to look behind her at Alice. Alice was next to speak.

"I came up to check to see if Bella needed any help, but I see that that is already taken care of" she said. I watched as Bella turned red with embarrassment, which is a sight that I will never get tired of watching.

"Anyhow, everyone is waiting in the living room, come down when ever your ready" she said and turned on her heels and walked down the steps. I looked away from Bella and looked in the direction Alice just left in, flabbergasted. I would have to talk to her about the image I saw in my head later.

"Edward, are you okay" a voice as sweet as honey said to me. I then realized that I was still holding Bella in my arms. I looked down at her shaking my head.

"I'm fine, just thinking that's all" I said to her. She shook her head, slowly.

"Edward, you can let go" she said to me. I didn't want to let go, feeling her warm body pressed against my cold, hard one, was a pleasant feeling.

"Sorry Bella, I can't" I told her. When I refused to let her go, she looked up at me, a defiant look on her face.

"Why pray tale, can't you" she said, her jaw tensing slightly.

"Because your leg is still healing and you need to stay off of it" I told her. Her defiant look was still on her face but she nodded her head anyway.

"We should get downstairs, my family is waiting to talk to you" I said to her. She shook her head. I watched as an impish smile spread across her face.

"And how do you plan on getting us down there" she asked me. I smiled my crooked smile, and I swear I heard her intake a breath.

"Like this" I said. I put my right are behind her back and bending a little, I put my left arm under the bend of her knees, careful not to put pressure on her leg. I stood straight up, bringing Bella with me, cradled to my chest. I heard her squeak and looked down and saw that Bella had hidden her face in my chest. I chuckled slightly at her childish behavior. She looked up at me, glaring.

"What might I ask is so funny" she said.

"Nothing" I said. She huffed and turned her nose up at me, making me laugh a little harder, did she know how cute she was. She continued to glare at me, righteous anger evident in her eyes. I finally calmed my laughter and said that I was sorry. She did nothing to acknowledge my apology; instead she turned her head and looked out in front of her.

"Come on lets go" she said, curtly. I started to walk towards the stairs. Bella not paying attention to me was completely unaware of how I had turned my head and inhaled the scent of her hair. She used some shampoo that Alice had given her. The scent that drifted into my nose was a mixture of strawberries and freesias, the strawberry being the shampoo and the freesia being her natural scent. It was the best scent I had ever smelt in the entire world, if I had my way, I would saturate myself in it.

When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I began to get my emotions in check, because I knew Jasper was in there. When I entered the room, I saw my whole family sitting and waiting for us. Apparently I didn't do a good job in controlling my emotions because Jasper had a smug expression across his face.

"Nice try bro, but you can't hide your feelings from me" he said. I glared at him; he just chuckled slightly in return.

I walked over to the empty loveseat and placed Bella gently onto the cushion. Once she was seated properly I sat beside her. After a moment of silence Carlisle spoke.

"Bella how are you feeling how is your leg" he asked gently.

"I feel fine, my leg on the other hand hurts really bad, I guess standing in a shower was not such a good idea" she said. Carlisle just shook his head.

"After we have our chat, I will look at it again. Maybe it didn't heal quiet as fast as I thought" he told her. She shook her head okay. The room went silent again. Finally Esme broke the tension.

"Bella dear, tells us a little about yourself" she said in a loving tone, making Bella smile. At the sight, I started thinking up of ways so that I could see her smile again, it was beautiful.

"Well what would you like to know" Bella asked.
